SOLID


Industrial landscape, stark materials, Silesian scenery and accents are the elements reflected in the collection SOLID. Kafti comes from Silesia, the industrial region of Poland, which exposes one to different kind of beauty. From the geometric solids, dark colours and heavy shapes emerges a new form: simple, straight and strong.

BERGA



In Silesian Berga means solid. With the geometric construction, the idea of the lampshade is based on contrast. The crude shapes form a coherent block. Transparent material contrastic with black colour merges into harmonious wholeness.

AL-VERD



Al-verd relates to the Armenian inspirations of Kafti and proves that in search of the industrial beauty we went inspiracji Kafti wemt far beyond Silesia. The name comes from the Armenian town of Alaverdi, where the 12th century monasteries next to copper mines create a surreal beauty. the arms of the lampshade remind the pit-shaft. The surroundings reflected in the smooth surface of the material create a new dimension.

SOLID ALIEN

Alien, from Kafti's earlier collection is a classic form in a new pop-art formula. It suits the SOLID's climate perfectly. The form of Alien is based on solid block. Alien has been appreaing in different colours, this time in a neutral, transparent version.
